VERY FINE/NEAR MINT Written and art by Shirow Masamune.
How do you keep a dead man from being murdered? Business bigwig Hayasaka might be dead, but he keeps turning up walking and talking, and Section 9 agents need to find out whether he's being remotely "puppeted" and whether those pulling the strings-like the mysterious Takoaka of the Institute of Technology-are the same people trying to control access to Pandora, a vast digital treasure trove of information of the most sensitive-and dangerous-nature. Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor presents for the first time in America the "lost" Ghost in the Shell stories, created by Shirow Masamune after completing work on the original Ghost in the Shell manga and prior to his tour-de-force, Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface, but never collected until now. This deluxe-format issue concludes "Fat Cat," the first of four Ghost in the Shell tales.
